The last Supper
|
 Every so often a television show manages to crash through the barriers of the mainstream, and bring forth these barriers out into the open world. Sadly, this is not something that happens enough.
The HBO produced Six Feet Under (from the team that brought us American Beauty) was one of those shows. Sadly, 2005 marks the shows curtain call, with the creators deciding that over five seasons, they had taken the show as far as they could, and it was time to end whilst still on a high, so to speak.
The final crucial 12 episodes of the fifth season of Six Feet Under are terrifyingly amazing. The show that dared to toy with many taboo subjects, including Incest, Homosexual Marriage, Gay Parenting, Adultery, Domestic Violence, even Kidnapping in 2004, has ended in only a way a show as astounding as this one could. Not even the effect of Sex & The City's final episode could rival anything in the finale of this genius program. Many in the states have even heralded the finale as a land mark moment in US television... the finishing episode is touching, moving, shocking and perfect - in true Six Feet style, you just don't know what's going to happen. And when it does you're either pissing yourself with laughter, or hysterically crying.
It's been two hours since we watched the finale, and we still haven't ceased our endless and ridiculous fits of hysteria, slowly scarring our eyes and noses from too many Kleenex tissues. This really is life changing television people.
So as IAR lowers the casket, and farewells Six Feet Under forever, we're asking you - fellow "viewers", what some of your favorite moments of the last five years were. We'll compile the best with some of our favorites, and post the "final 10-13" (how Idol of us) on the site next week. Email them through to us by this Wednesday the 14th of September, and we should have it up Friday the 16th.
Goodbye to the most brilliant television program in the history of film. And the most loving farewell to some of the most marveled characters ever created.
See what we mean?
What show in the world are we ever going to get scenes like that one again we ask you? GOODBYE SIX FEET... ='(
